i'm sorry i suck at updating.
it's been a ridiculous week.
and it will continue to be.
okay so the big news of the past 2 weeks is that jeanette donheiser came to visit last weekend. that was literally all i was looking forward to during the long, painful hours of capering and sonnet-spewing for our 'arts of shakespeare' presentation. decked out in awkward-fitting rehearsal skirts and crisp white blouses, we sang, clowned, and sashayed our way through a mildly uncomfortable hour of various bits of elizabethan performance. i wish i had pictures. actually, no i don't.
then JENNY showed up. our weekend consisted of drinking, stumbling all over the piccadilly line, a failed attempt at seeing the changing of the guards, the RSC, covent garden,
chips & salsa, topshop, clothes-swapping, fortunas, thai food, crap modern art, bridges & tunnels, and very VERY funny valentines. i have a new favorite hobby - replacing various words with spanish ones. literally all i did all weekend. and i learned a new one: burbuja. it means "bubble." i'm so cultured. fools.i have officially booked ALL of spring break for myself & seth. he comes 2 weeks from today! i could not be more excited. the months just seem to be piling up with more & more fantastic, wonderful occurrences. my iCal is filling up. pretty soon, the semester will have flown by, leaving only a dented bank account and a stamped passport in its wake. but i'm having a blast, and soaking up every minute of it.
